I liked this card because of its easy to install and use set up. It works okay, but lacks on heavy graphic usage games like EvE online. I have had it for about 4 months. It ran well till recently the fan started getting really noisy, then my monitor would shut down because the card is overheating, to the point if you touch it you will burn yourself. I'm going to return it for another one or different card. Hopefully i have better luck with a new one.
What's great about it: Easy to install
What's not so great: Overheating and noisy
I would recommend this to a friend!

Bad graphics card for gaming

I bought this card about a month ago and unfortunately I am going to have to buy a new because the it constantly overheats on games that don't require to much. I have been playing MMO games like WoW and RoM and Allods and it keeps overheating with only a few hours into gameplay. I even tried playing FPS games like CSS and TF2 and it still overheats. Overall it worked OK and I could play a few games on maxed out graphics, but its still not worth the $75 price tag. DO NOT BUY.
What's great about it: Installation
What's not so great: Overheats constantly
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I had a friend buy this card because it had the HDMI port on it. We were using the VGA port during this attempt. After attempting an install we ran into an issue that when it booted to normal windows mode it wouldn't display anything and if left alone for a while (5 minutes or so) it would blue screen and reboot. I ended up calling tech support who walked through the normal steps of removing all the drivers and reinstalling them with no luck. I had to have her take this card back and get something else. It might work better on a different system but it didn't on the Dell Vostro 200 Series.
What's great about it: HDMI Port
What's not so great: New card doesn't have drivers for all systems yet
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: Nothing
What's not so great: Not compatible with new computer
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Bought this card after seeing the PNY NVIDIA card was sold out in my area. I had to dig around online to see this card as "Windows 7" compatible. It's not on the front of the box, but it's boasted on the back of the BFG box. Bought it, removed my old ATI card, and it's working so far on my Pentium D system w/ Windows XP Pro SP3. The thing is, I ran Microsoft's Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor and it spit back a result saying this card is NOT Aero compatible. I didn't install my Win7 Pro upgrade yet, but I'm worried. The BFG box suggests that it's Aero compatible, though it doesn't explicitly say so. Works fine as an HD card so far - just keep the receipt in case Aero goes bust. I know I will. NOTE: my PC setup passed every other test necessary to run Aero, with the exception of the graphics card - just like my old ATI card.
What's great about it: Works w/ low-power PSU systems (300w), HD capability, dual-monitor support
What's not so great: Some conflicting compatibility data
I would recommend this to a friend!

I bought this graphics card to replace my old lousy graphics card GeForce 7350 LE. Turns out it works perfectly fine, until I loaded the 720p video and the screen starts to black out. Often it blacks out sometimes when I'm playing Farmville.
What's great about it: Cheap, works for average user
What's not so great: Capability of watching HD video, screen often blacks out
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
